We Will Hear The Angels
Inspired by Anton Chekhov and Katherine Mansfield, and taking its title from the last scene of Uncle Vanya, We WIll Hear The Angels uses music, text and movement to explore the state of melancholy and the strange power of sad music to uplift us. Conceived as a piece that is both a live performance and a digital film, it is co-directed by Nicholas Bone and film-maker Marisa Zanotti and features an eclectic mix of music performed live by a cast of five performers.
Following development work in 2021 and 2022, We Will Hear The Angels received its first public performances in the Warehouse at the Fruitmarket in Edinburgh in January 2023.
